. 1 Distribu'ticn bocket File Branch Reading File 007 2 5 1972 RP Reading File RMDiggs J. Calle 00c NSF FROPOSED FVLL= TEEN OPERATING LICEM*g FOR N0lrIICELLO UKIT 1 = 50 263 Enclosed for your review and casamente is e copy of the proposed full.tarm operating license for ESP's Monticelle Unit 1. Also, a copy of the current POL DPR-22 for the facility is enclosed. The basic differences are:

1. I have added: (a) the standard 50.57 findings ("a" thru "g" of the proposed license), and (b) what I see as the Appendix D finding (item "h").

Do we want thess in the licensettttti Mast old licenses Leclude them.

2. Items 2.B and C have been discussed with NSF because itsen B is mere restrictive than necessary by wee of the words "as fuel assemblies" and the separate listing of the samall quantity of U-235 used is fieston chaebers, in ites of putting all U-235 tesether and labelling it as "for woe in connection with operation of the facility". In combining all U 235, when licensees need a gract er two more for fi-den chmabers er monitoring devices than erginally anticipated, th.y can use it without our annending the license. Itaan C is being clarified because two items in the current licanos de not specify limits on quantities . see marginal notes.

3. There are other minor things that you will find indicated in the lef t and right hand margins of the proposed license and en the current POL.

I will let you know when we receive the amendment from NSF on the material requirements, sinca this was promised to Togel in a couple of weeks from 10/17/72, I guess we should give it our proart attention.
